You have to laugh … I remember Glastonbury, up to my knees in mud - it’s all part of the fun. Having said that, it’s unlikely turn into a survival situation in a field in Somerset, so not really that comparable …
I’m stuck here in the sex orgy tent…send help…
but not too quickly, take your time.
I tried doing sex acts in water, mud and on the beach. All of them sounds kinky and sexy but in reality are uncomfortable and literally unhygenic.
The beach is also very prone to get really, i mean really, uncomfortable.
Help is cumming.
Thread is giving me oglaf comic vibes
So are the cookers
We’re here to save you from the virgins, Lancelot…
The weather-related disruptions have caused suspension of the cleaning and emptying of thousands of portable toilets.
This sounds nightmarish. People will start avoiding the portable toilets and it will be even worse.
Radical inclusion now includes cholera
I legitimately hope no one gets hurt but I couldn’t resist
Yeah, this bit stood out for me also!
A quite apt metaphor of Man drowning in problems that can’t just be burned away.
I have friends that help out on the safety crew. I hope everyone stays safe.
The “news” is bullshit. I’ve got friends there right now and they’re fine. A little muddy and wet but nobody is in danger.
One person died already.
As a consequence of the rain?
Yes, but was he in danger?
Well, he isn’t now.
I’ve been to burning man, but even I can’t help but laugh a little bit at this… you wanted “radical self-reliance”? You got it.
But they didn’t really want radical self reliance. They wanted the Medieval Times version of radical self reliance.
Burning Mud.
Mudding Man
Burning Man turning into Fyre Festival. Time is a circle.
Now its Muddy Man Festival
Who would think an old lake bed in the middle of a flash flood prone desert might be an issue
More like “Drowned Man” this year.
Nature is healing.
What now? How is water in a Desert “Natur is healing” ?
Burning man is held on the playa.
A playa is a dried-up lake.
This year, the playa is becoming a lake.
Nature is healing.
Who else has been confused by seeing the word “playa” in news and memes in the context of Burning Man? I thought they were talking about the fuckbois at first
Next year they should call it Playas on the Playa
Playa means beach, at least in Spanish. Where are you getting *dried up lake" from?
Playa (plural playas) may refer to:
Landforms
- Endorheic basin, also known as a sink, alkali flat or sabkha, a desert basin with no outlet which periodically fills with water to form a temporary lake
- Dry lake, often called a playa in the southwestern United States
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playa
This English definition does come from the Spanish word for “Beach.”
I really wonder how the Spanish word “beach” became “dried up lake” in English. Spanish speakers must be very confused. It’s like ハンドル in Japanese. It’s basically a Japanese pronunciation of “handle” but they use it to mean “steering wheel”.
Jokes that appear to have gone over your head aside, deserts are usually dry. In a lot of examples, a sudden flood happens, but the desert is dry the other 99% of the time.
I’m not making the argument that our climate is neither fucked nor unpredictable as a result, but what point were you trying to make?
Money does not solve disasters like this
You mean they’re not gonna be able to innovate their way out of this one? :(
Really though this is looking like it’s about to turn into a legitimate humanitarian crisis somehow???
Climate change? Fucking duh, we’ve known that for decades. How are people surprised?
I was going to go this year, and then I had hurricane Idialia to prepare for. I guess between the two, I’ll take the storm …
Just like this years Wacken.
that’s whack
